As someone who is very new to Seramas, I appreciate seeing pictures of such a beautiful bird, and I believe I understand your intent in the posting, but I too think you came off a bit strong. I love seeing pictures of any and all fuzzy butts, especially ones that show a breed to perfection and help me learn, but baby pics and pictures like the ones I posted of my young birds are also welcome IMO. I think what you see as people falling head over heels for a certain bird that may not be equal to your bird, is all of us who just love the birds and love to see all the pictures and see them as beautiful, which they are. I believe maybe you came off abrupt when you did not mean to, the pictures are beautiful and I enjoyed looking at them, so thank you.

Ok, as promised...here are the babies!! They look almost exactly the same, so until sex is distinguishable, they are "the twins"...

Two tiny babies in a big GIANT brooder! LOL

I think it is important for people to understand and see what a breed is suppose to look like. And that people should understand what they need to do to help perfect the breed!

I also think it is good for people to understand what the breed should look like. Constructive criticism is a great thing. I also do not think there is anything wrong with a pretty pet bird that is still a serama even though it's not to standard (as long as they are calling them what they are and not trying to market them as show birds)

Agreed!

But i also think they should be breeding toward the standard! And not spreading birds that are not contributing to the breeds perfection!

I don't want to start anything but basically are you saying if we (general Serama lovers) can't make or add to the perfection of the bird we shouldn't have Seramas at all or shouldn't sell them to others who do want them? If so, I think that's a bit uppity. Sorry to be blunt but that's the way I am. There are a lot of people who simply love the breed for what it is same as they love every other breed of chicken. They want a house pet, they want to have a little flock of Seramas, whatever. I agree people should not be selling pet quality birds as show quality - that is just false advertising, but I don't think everyone who has Seramas "needs" to be breeding for perfection or contributing to the perfection as you said. Now if this is not what you meant, then I am sorry and retract my blunt statement.

Im not saying that people should not have PQ serama and breed them, but like you said, do not sell them as SQ and make sure people know that they are not SQ. What I am saying is that people that want to breed serama for a purpose should breed toward the perfection of the breed.
